edit: sorry if this should be in support!
Hello!
i seek help from of which i could not anywhere else on other forums, or googling. hopefully ill have better luck here.
my PSU is a 120mm fan 450W jeantech. after reading some other threads about PSUs, i thought maybe somone here could shed light on my problem.
i can overclock my CPU fine, about as far as i would want it too go. at 2.2ghz it is very stable and all nice. but, in the mornings, turning the PC on, it powers up the fans, lights on keyboard on on front of case light up for about half a second, then suddenly nothing. a second time will start the PC and all is well. rarely a third time is needed.
after a while of this i could not stand the anxiety attacks of turning my PC on in the mornings and thus so, CPU is now 2ghz where it was intended too be in the first place. PC set-up is as follows:
3000+ 64bit athlon 2ghz
zenith value ZNF3-250 motherboard
512mb corsair value
80GB maxtor S-ATA
5600FX 256mb
80mm fan at front of case, a 120mm fan for exhaust.
i get the problem with OCing the graphics card as well, even without OCing the CPU. since i want too avoid not giving enough infomation...i think this might be relevent..:
+3.3 - 3.20v +12 - 11.65v +5 - 4.95v 2.5 - 2.56v
-12 - 11.21v
they are from software so its not too accurate. tis my birthday soon, and ive been offered a antec 480W truepower for my 18th. any help will be appreciated.
also, with what you would know, would a 6800GT survive in with what i have? or should i not risk with what problems i have? thats if they are PSU related.
thank you!
